Palisades is now one of the four-worst performing plants in the country.

This is not a regularly scheduled meeting, according to the NRC.

"We are holding it because the NRC recognizes there are questions about the plant and we want to be there in person to provide answers to the community," the NRC said in a press release.

The meeting will start with a presentation from the NRC followed by a question and answer session with NRC officials. The meeting will be held at the Beach Haven Event Center, 10420 M-140 in South Haven and run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The downgrade stems from two events at the plant: an August coupling failure in one of the plant's service water pumps with a "low-to-moderate safety significance;" and a September electrical fault caused by plant workers. The fault resulted in the plant shutting down for a week in September. The NRC calls that incident a "substantial significance to safety."
